Opera 9.5 - mplayerplug-in {SOLVED}

I have Opera 9.5 installed and in works well, except it will not recognize the mplayerplug-in in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins, although every other plugin is recognized. Even copying  mplayerplug-in* to /usr/lib/opera/plugins does not help. Has anyone else found this to be a problem? The updated mplayerplug-in plays quicktime 7 files perfectly in Firefox 3.

See post below: gnome-mplayer and gecko-mediaplayer work perfectly.

Re: Opera 9.5 - mplayerplug-in {SOLVED}

I had the same problem, you can solve it by installing:
gnome-mplayer-0.6.2-2  gecko-mediaplayer-0.6.2-1

which is the recommended mplayer plugin for opera.

Re: Opera 9.5 - mplayerplug-in {SOLVED}

solved? how?
i'm really disappointed about the the plugin situation in opera.
i've tried almost every mplayer/xine/vlc related plugin to get (embedded) videos working.  but with no remarkable success.
however, i'm still using the xine-plugin for now, because it's the "best" so far. at least it doesn't crash and actually shows some video.
i also tried the gecko-media player, but it doesn't show anything. "opera -debugplugin" shows successful detection, but when visiting a movie site (eg apple trailer) it plays nothing.
am i doing smth wrong?

btw:

where did you get this information?

pps: oh, sorry! after restartinf opera twice (?) gecko-mplayer works like  a charm.
once again, where did you get this tip?
i surfed the opera forum so long and never heard smth about the gecko-player.

Nice tip, Using it too now.
I also noticed that it won't work (just as mplayer-plugin) when compositing is enabled.
